I have only had one intervention about signing that they are okay with, but this is participation likeness when using. However, when I spoke to my experts and to different people I interviewed, specifically when I was filming or voice recording them, I made sure to ask them several times if this was something that they were okay with and if it was okay if the information that I had gotten and made into notes or the videos be shared with my professors and teachers, as well as with my classmates. They all agreed, and I have their verbal consent in my voice notes. This is also why when I have gotten the recommendation that maybe one of my interventions can be to make some of my blog posts open to the public I explained that I did not have permission to do this and did not ask for this type of consent and I have no way of reaching out to some of the people who participated since it was done in a very uncontrolled setting however they all agreed to participate and whenever a person was not comfortable I immediately moved on and left them alone because I never want to make people feel unsafe or disrespected however this was not something I felt was very common in my previous interventions but it might have been a good idea to get not just verbal consent from the people I interviewed and recorded even though I made sure they were okay with it and when we finished the meetings I asked them again and made sure this was something they were comfortable with but I should have had it more in writing which is a mistake I have made in this process but hope to be able to learn from it.
